Wicked Little Things (2006)
After her husband's death, Karen and her daughters Sarah and Emma head to the Pennsylvania mountains, to the house she inherited from her late husband. The house is almost secluded in the middle of the woods where people get lost. Karen is unfortunately a blonde dumbass, no, she's incredibly stupid, to the point it makes you roll your eyes in disbelief as she continually says that everything is going to be fine, while the grim reaper breathes on her back. Little Emma takes after her mother, hence she spends half the film constantly looking for her somewhere. And then there are the undead children from the mine and are now exacting revenge on the last of the mine owner's descendants when it happens. I mean, before they get to them, they eat whoever they can get their hands on. I commend the visuals, those woods are fabulous in every shot, be it day, fog, or night. And on top of that, it's autumn! Permanent oppression, solid atmosphere and some blood, even if it's all rather intimate and minimalist. A lot of the shots are in the dark, but with a good print it doesn't matter that much. For me it's a fine 3,5*
Queen Kong (1976)
This parody of the classic King Kong is basically a copy of the original story, it features the filmmakers' journey to the mysterious island, the sacrifice of a blond man, Queen Kong falling in love with the man, the queen's fight with a tyrannosaur and a pterosaur that wants to kidnap the blond man, and the journey to London... well, everything is here, but instead of the Empire State Building there's Big Ben. There are women instead of men, the British Queen and Jimmy Carter are made fun of, and it's not just the music that makes you feel like you're watching The Benny Hill Show most of the time. This is definitely not a fantasy or horror film, rather it is a fantastic adventure comedy, a crazy comedy and an absurdist comedy, as was proper in the 1970s. Nowadays, it can only be recommended to collectors.
Sorri 2 (2024)
Slightly better than the first one, but the brutal running time brings down my rating even more than the previous one. If you take away the demonic entity with a permanent grin, this is the story of pop singer Skye, who first fell to the very bottom after an accident, but then managed to climb back up. As it happens, the higher one is, the easier it is to fall down. This time, however, Skye falls so low that even the bottom remains high above her. As a biography, it probably wouldn't be bad, especially the dance numbers and ideas are fine. The gore is nutritious, but there's not much of it. And if you tune in for horror, you wait, wait, and wait. It felt more like tacked on chapters with too much non-horror filler. The monster on stage was the best. Nice work with the barbell disc as well. Oh, and the ending, hmm, so a possible sequel would probably be wild... Too bad the movie didn't have an intense opening scene, it would have been awesome.
